BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / May 5, 2025 / Newsmax Inc. (NYSE:NMAX) ("Newsmax" or the "Company") today announced that the Company has reached 20 million combined social media followers - a major milestone.

Newsmax's reach across social media is huge, with more than five million followers on Facebook, 4.1 million on Truth Social, 3.4 million on X, 2.4 million on YouTube and millions more on other platforms.

These numbers continue to grow as Newsmax garners high engagement from users, according to Amplify, a social analytics service.

On Facebook, Newsmax's per-follower interaction rate was 241% greater than Fox News in 2024.

Newsmax saw even stronger numbers against other competitors, with per-follower interactions 1,580% greater than CNN and 630% greater than MSNBC.

Similarly, on X, Newsmax had a per-follower interaction rate 2,739% greater than ABC News, 526% greater than CBS News, 294% greater than Fox News and 272% greater than MSNBC.

"Reaching 20 million social media followers with the best per-follower engagement in TV news, Newsmax isn't just growing - it's surging ahead as a rising force," commented Corey Clayton, Newsmax's Senior Director for Social Media.

He added, "This milestone proves that our social audience is energized around the Newsmax brand."

Christopher Ruddy, Newsmax CEO, said, "Newsmax is one of the most powerful news brands in America because we have an 'all for all' approach - we provide great content on all major media platforms for all people."
